Description
there was fix in this issue with v3.2.10.0.
(Fixed: Control...() functions using CLASS and TEXT together sometimes incorrect.)
In my case there was no problems with v3.2.8.1, but when I update autoit to v3.2.12.0 today, several ControlClick() functions that using CLASS and TEXT together are not woking, so I had to remove all "TEXT:xxx" in my scripts.
Here is one of them not woking.
ControlClick($handle, "", "[CLASS:Button; TEXT:&Move; INSTANCE:10]")
thanks.

Replying to Jon:
That's because the bug caused instance to be ignored. In your example what you are actually asking AutoIt to look for is the 10th instance of a "Button" class with the text "&Move". I'm guessing you are not looking for the 10th instance. :)
it's by Au3Info.

No, Au3info never shows an advanced description that uses those 3 together.
You either want "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:10]" or "[CLASS:Button; TEXT:&Move]".

Aren't you read help?
"e.g. Click the 2nd instance of a "Button" control containing the text "Finish"
ControlClick("My Window", "", "[CLASS:Button; TEXT:Finish; INSTANCE:2]")"
-from help file.

I wrote the help.
You want the FIRST instance of a "Button" class containing the text "&Move". OR the 10th instance of a "Button" class.
Working as intended. No bug.
